Back to the 60s: The Struggle Career of a Charmed Wife
Chapter 89 - 0089: Wang Jiao’s Rebirth 1_1

As she watched Lu Jiang gradually recede into the distance, stepping into the railway station, Feng Qingxue’s heart was filled with a sense of desolation. She stood still for a while only to turn her head and witness Lu Father with his back turned so as not to see Lu Jiang’s retreating figure, constantly wiping his face with his hand, his slender body slightly shaking.

Think about it, the old man doesn’t want to part with his only son, does he?

Lu Father, after all, had experienced multiple partings, and it did not take him long to regain his composure, reverting to how he was before. If you didn’t look closely, you couldn’t tell his eyes had turned red.

"Let’s go back, it’s so cold, don’t let our little girl get cold."

The ’little girl’ he was referring to was none other than Feng Qingyun, who promptly rewarded him with a broad smile.

The Lu Family didn’t have any daughters, and Lu Father particularly adored Feng Qingyun’s tender and chubby face, carrying her in his arms as they mounted the cart.

The donkey cart felt half empty without a person.

Wang Zhengguo also felt a prickling sensation of bitterness in his heart. Just as he was about to start a conversation to distract Lu Father’s melancholy, he watched as Lu Father pulled a grey cloth bundle out from the military coat’s pocket and passed it directly to Feng Qingxue. The bundle was full and bulging, but it was unclear what was inside.

"Uncle Lu, what is this?" Feng Qingxue asked, puzzled.

"Before Ajiang left, he entrusted some of his money and tickets to me, for you to buy some more food and necessities in the future, don’t be hard on yourself," said Lu Father, followed by a disclaimer, "originally, he wanted to give you directly. But he was afraid you wouldn’t accept it. Now that he’s on train, I’ll transfer the items to you. Don’t even think of returning it to me because I won’t accept it."

As he spoke, he gave Feng Qingxue a wink. In no time, Feng Qingxue grasped the situation. This was a cover-up by Lu Father and Lu Jiang in order to get her some goods with the money and tickets!

In the future, when she takes things out and says that they were bought with tickets and money from Lu Jiang, nobody would harbor suspicion.

Even if it was a cover-up, whatever money and tickets Lu Jiang left for her were certainly not a small sum. As soon as the cloth bundle was opened, a stack of large denomination notes and a thick wad of tickets revealed themselves. From a glance, it seemed like there was no less than eight hundred if not a thousand.

Wang Zhengguo was delighted for his niece, as it showed that Lu Jiang was constantly concerned about her in every way.

Feng Qingxue mulled over the idea of regularly sending food and other items to Lu Father and his grandson, thereby accepting the money and tickets. Yet on the surface, she declined a few times before Lu Father, who refused to take them back under any circumstance, allowed her to seemingly reluctantly wrap them up and put them into her canvas sack.

"Uncle Lu, I’ll accept this then. If you ever need anything, just send word through Tianjun."

"Good, good, good!"

Lu Father was already very appreciative of her, with no words of refusal leaving his mouth.

She came with food and clothes, all wrapped up into two large parcels. Without even unwrapping them, Lu Father could already feel joy in his heart for his son. This showed that Feng Qingxue truly cared for him, otherwise, she wouldn’t have put in so much effort.

Neither he nor Lu Jiang were adept at cooking, and for this trip, aside from clothes and utensils like water bottles, enamel jars, and cutlery, Lu Jiang had just bought ten buns from the state-run restaurant. He planned to use his remaining grain tickets to buy food on the train journey, enough to last until he reached the army base.

Now, with the food prepared by Feng Qingxue, Lu Jiang would not have to buy meals.

When it was time for lunch, the package was opened, revealing layers of food which made even a neighboring passenger envious, inevitably prompting him to display an envious look.

"Big bro Lu, you brought so much food?"
